AuthorTopic: inkscape missing lib (Read 2805 times)

I just installed Vector 6 a few days ago and I really like it.Though I have a problem with inkscape 0.46. I installed itper GSLAPT and everything seemed to be fine, but when I triedto launch it, nothing happened.So ... I tried to launch it from a terminal, which gave methe message that I am missing "libMagick++.so.10".Unfortunately the missing lib doesn't seem to be availablein the repositories.Does someone know where I can get the lib, or is this libmaybe part of another package?

If you find that library, you'll have three or four more missing dependencies. The package from the repos doesn't get the missing dependencies. I've reported this three or four times.

I have Inkscape 0.46 installed in RC1 and I installed it in the earlier releases of VL6, too. I was able to copy the missing dependencies from other installations of VL on this computer. Maybe I got them from VL 5.9. Then I just copy whatever starting inkscape from the command line complains about. Not very practical if you don't have a working Inkscape 0.46 somewhere to copy those libraries from!

First I removed inkscape ... then I checked if there is "imagemagick" installed at all ...and it was (6.4.1_10-i586-1vl60).

I marked imagemagick for reinstallation. After that I went ahead to install inkscape again.There were actually two versions showing up: ... i486-2sl graphic/inkscape ... i586-2gsb packages/office

this time I marked the i486 version and it catched a few more dependencies,sorry I didn't write them all down, but one was actually ... surprise,"imagemagick". Though an older version "6.3.7_10-i486-1.tgz" or atleast different.

I had another little problem during installation, really minor, with gtkspell.It just didn't run through all the way, but Ijust remarked it for installationand the second time everything completed successfully.

Sooo ... inkscape seems to work now, I haven't worked with it yet, but atleast I was able to launch it. But I'm sure it is ok now.

btw what is sl and gsl standing for. I asume sl stands for Slackware, but the otherone I have no clue.
